Elena's POV

Elijah left me to go cook me something to eat. I really want to ask him what happen after Edward got attack. All I remember is that Mikael ended it up on my truck, which I will have to get replace. I can notice the nervous glances I'm getting from Jasper, but I pretended not to notice. I mean, can I really blame him for walking on egg shells around me. "I'm really sorry guys about all this. Mikael was suppose to remain secure in his tomb, but Tanya let him go. If I didn't know the information that I know now, I would be all for neutralizing him, but he is a victim too. Well. his conscience is anyways." I said.

"Sweetie, this is something you can not help. What is done is done. The situation could have been a lot worst, but Edward is alive and that is what I can be thankful for. Don't beat yourself up about this." Esme said. She came over a patted me on shoulders and gave me a one arm hug. "How is your head?" She asked.

"Well, it don't feel like a freight truck is pounding on my head, but it is still annoying. Thank you for asking." I said. I look over to Edward and this immense amount of guilt came rushing over my head. I don't know what happen, but nausea came in like a tidal wave. I darted out of my chair and straight to the downstairs bathroom. I crumbled to my knees and threw up. I gripped the toilet for dear life.

I felt someone behind me, tugging my hair out of the way. "Are you okay, Bella?" Alice asked. She was rubbing my back.

I was up to the point of dry heaving. Took me a few moments to catch my breath, then I sat up against the tub, slanting. "Edward was hurt, because of me. I didn't even think about telling you guys about Mikael. I'M SO STUPID!" I slapped my forehead, leaving my hand on my face.

"It is not your fault, Bella. Edward is alive and that is a blessing in a disguise." Alice said, sitting next to me.

"I wouldn't hold it against you guys to walk out that door and not look back. You have no idea the darkness my soul carries. I'm basically a omen!" I said. I removed the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.

"You burden yourself too much! In my eyes, you will always be the girl who saved me. You didn't have to do that. I could have been a killer, but you took the risk without thinking. Many people wouldn't have done that." Alice said. She stood up and held her hand out to me. I hesitantly accepted her hand and she pulled me up to my feet. I immediately covered my mouth. Alice took a step back. "Do you have to vomit again?" Her nose crunched up in disgust.

I shook my head from side to side. "I don't want to kill my best friend with my offending breath." I said, hiding my smile.

"That would be a shame after you saved me after all!" Alice laughed. She lead the walk out the bathroom and I followed by a distance. I bypassed everyone and straight to my bathroom upstairs to clean up.

I took a quick shower and dressed down in my grey sweats with a black, long sleeved, V-Neck shirt. I slipped on my black Vans on. I styled my hair in a sloppy bun and chose not to do make-up. I went downstairs, but stop instantly at the bottom when I saw Edward, back to me. My heart rate sky rocket. How do he do it? The man was just about mauled and died and he still look PERFECT! I looked like I was electrocuted and beaten with a bat. What the hell am I thinking? My boyfriend was attacked and killed and I'm over here in the corner obsessing about looks. Good thing he can't read my mind.

"Where is Bella?" Edward said. He started to pace, while rubbing his neck.

"I'm right here, Edward." I whispered. His body whipped in my direction. The next millisecond, I was vice grip of hug. I wrapped my arms around him just as fiercely. The sweet scent of his blood filled my nose. "I'm sooo sorry, Edward! Everything is crazy." Warm tears trickled down my face, landing on his neck. The familiar feeling of nausea worked its way into me, but I forcefully pushed it back down. I didn't want to let go if this was our last moment together.
